wii charging stand September 24, 2008
this peice of hardware for the wii is a good idea but it has a good few flaws.
1. the remotes only charge if you have the wii console on standby mode which takes the power of 15 watts of electricity. this costs you around 45 pounds a year to run.
2. the battries it takes are AAA battries and only lasts a few hours.
3. if your playing the console by yourself you can charge the batteries but unfortuanatly you wouldnt play for longer than 10 hours would you?.
4. there is an aa battery charger which is useless then this only tales aaa batteries.
the best thing about this is it is a good stand for the wii and it has cool blue led lights around the console and controller ports(there are two controller ports) which is very sleek and modern looking.
the charger plugs in the consoles usb port which is why the console has to be powered on or on wii connect 24 standby mode which you have to turn on in wii settings but be careful leaving that amount of power on. i always turn my console off by the plug. but this is a good idea and you dont need to buy barreies every 100 hours
 Good. August 28, 2008
Well worth the price. keeps my wii tidy with my remotes and charges at the same time!
(And also has a cool blue light which looks funky)
Ps. don't forget to plug the usb wire into your wii from under the stand..otherwise it won't charge!
 Charging in standby August 26, 2008
Please note the manual states for this charger to charge whilst the wii is in standby mode you must have the `wii connect 24' and `standby' modes enabled.
I have purchased one of these and although I think it looks great I am very worried about the damage occurring to the wii remotes after using this product so I think I will be sending it back as I don't think it is worth the risk. There are a lot of other products out there that do the same thing.
Rubbish August 12, 2008
This is a good idea but normally if you leave it for more then 2 hours the controller doesn't work. I do not reccomend this item
Great item, some bad reviews are unfounded and inaccurate July 29, 2008

This item works a treat, I've read the other bad reviews and would like to clarify some points.
1) The 2nd charger does work properly
2) The charger does work on the Wii standby mode. Just switch the Wii on, then put it into standby and the charger stays on. It works when the USB power supply from the Wii is powered up.
3) Battery life depends on what batteries you buy for it. If you buy bad batteries, don't blame the charger.
The unit looks fantastic with its blue glow and neatly stores the Wii as well as the remotes. Nice and tidy.
The only reason it loses a star is because even with the latest AAA rechargeable batteries you can't play this all evening without needing to put the chargers back in the base. AA batteries would be a better option but the design would not allow this.
Remeber to get some AAA rechargeable batteries when you buy the item, and try to get 1000maH or more.
